Road Trip!

I went off to Niagara On The Lake before Christmas for a day trip. Sure, there are lots of tea places in this quaint Ontario town. However, I visited The Irish Shop, scouting out the gluten-free goodies for friend. I found a delightful tea room at the back of the store.

There something nice about being served tea in stainless steel. You know there will probably be no odours left from prior teas scented with peppermint or bergamot.

The tea bread was soft, moist and delicious with the sweet churned butter.

I will return when the weather is warmer before there are too many tourists.
